Scripts, how to use them and install them.

I would like to use a couple scripts in my upcoming mission, including the tail rotor failure, and the A10 support script.. maybe some rapelling also. Problem is, I've never used scripting in my life. How and where do I put the scripts that I download, and where do I apply them to a certain time or position??

note: this question may be somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks,

Scripts (scripname.sqs file) should be located in the same folder as the mission.sqm file for you mission (that is in the Users/Username/missions/missionname.abel (.intro, .cain, .eden))

Call up the script either in a trigger/WP activation field or an units init field by typing:

[] exec "scriptname.sqs"

Some scripts may require variables in the square brackets (details will be in the readme files or the script file themselves, you can open them with Notepad)
